Our Voice And Yours


Lokvani wishes all its readers a Happy Guru Purnima.

The word ‘Guru’ is derived from two Sanskrit words ‘Gu’ meaning ‘darkness or ignorance’ and ‘Ru’ meaning ‘removal’. Hence, Guru is believed to be the removal of darkness from our lives. This year, Guru Purnima will be celebrated on July 24, a day dedicated to teachers and mentors.
